Rémi Verschelde 32ddd4f4e0 Doctool: Remove version attribute from XML header
We don't use that info for anything, and it generates unnecessary diffs
every time we bump the minor version (and CI failures if we forget to
sync some files from opt-in modules (mono, text_server_fb).

Boolean built-in type.
</brief_description>
<description>
Boolean is a built-in type. There are two boolean values: [code]true[/code] and [code]false[/code]. You can think of it as a switch with on or off (1 or 0) setting. Booleans are used in programming for logic in condition statements, like [code]if[/code] statements.
Booleans can be directly used in [code]if[/code] statements. The code below demonstrates this on the [code]if can_shoot:[/code] line. You don't need to use [code]== true[/code], you only need [code]if can_shoot:[/code]. Similarly, use [code]if not can_shoot:[/code] rather than [code]== false[/code].
[codeblock]
var can_shoot = true
func shoot():
if can_shoot:
pass # Perform shooting actions here.
[/codeblock]
The following code will only create a bullet if both conditions are met: action "shoot" is pressed and if [code]can_shoot[/code] is [code]true[/code].
[b]Note:[/b] [code]Input.is_action_pressed("shoot")[/code] is also a boolean that is [code]true[/code] when "shoot" is pressed and [code]false[/code] when "shoot" isn't pressed.
[codeblock]
var can_shoot = true
func shoot():
if can_shoot and Input.is_action_pressed("shoot"):
create_bullet()
[/codeblock]
The following code will set [code]can_shoot[/code] to [code]false[/code] and start a timer. This will prevent player from shooting until the timer runs out. Next [code]can_shoot[/code] will be set to [code]true[/code] again allowing player to shoot once again.
[codeblock]
var can_shoot = true
onready var cool_down = $CoolDownTimer
func shoot():
if can_shoot and Input.is_action_pressed("shoot"):
create_bullet()
can_shoot = false
cool_down.start()
func _on_CoolDownTimer_timeout():
can_shoot = true
[/codeblock]

<description>
Cast a [String] value to a boolean value, this method will return [code]false[/code] if [code]""[/code] is passed in, and [code]true[/code] for all non-empty strings.
Examples: [code]bool("False")[/code] returns [code]true[/code], [code]bool("")[/code] returns [code]false[/code].
